Asked By:danielaKG in Honolulu, HI

Four days in i was very happy with my Tummy tuck, about 8 days I felt like my tummy was going to explode it was so tight, the fluid started coming out for the incision. I feel much better today at 19 but now my stomach likes like its forming a new over hang. I have an appt with my plastic surgeon on 5/16.
